This is the seventh book in the series. 8th grade alpha female, Skye, has the key to the secret room in OCD and the Pretty Committee needs to get it. The problem is that Skye won't tell them where it is hidden and any girl can find it. The Pretty Committee is off on a scavenger hunt on a race against time for this key, otherwise the PC will be ruined for the rest of their lives. More trouble and drama for the 7th grade girls

Summary: Look out boys, here comes the Clique!
Massie Block: Getting back into Octavian Country Day was a piece of sugar-free cake, compared to Massie's next goal-finding the key that unlocks an ah-mazing legendary secret room at OCD! Alpha eighth grader Skye Hamilton and her clique have stashed the key in the bedroom of one mystery Briarwood boy, but who? Whoever finds the key gets access to the secret room for an entire year and the prestige that comes along with it. But what happens when LBR Layne seems to be getting closer? This is way more than a matter of life or death, it's a matter of in or out!
Kristen Gregory: Always been a star on the soccer field, but her style gets majorly cramped when her friends are forced to join the team. They better start kicking those soccer balls or Kristen's going to start kicking some...!
Alicia Rivera: Uses her skills as a gossip reporter to scheme her way into the rooms of all the Briarwood hotties!
Dylan Marvil: Heard depression makes people lose weight. Is hoping for some sad news soon because she's popping donut holes the way some people pop Tic-Tacs.
Claire Lyons: Being famous isn't all it's cracked up to be! Her agent confiscates her gummies, and forces her to do some very bad things to make her more "edgy." Worst of all, her constant meetings with lawyers and movie execs are eating into her time with the P.C. and with Cam! Is being a Hollywood starlet worth the Gucci-high price tag?
The Clique... the only thing harder than getting in is staying in.

Review: The Pretty Commitee is finally able to become more popular and a challenge is here. It was obvious that they would be getting back into OCD; that's no challenge. But a room that is theirs, a secret room that only they have access to can be theirs? That's cool.

Things I Loved:, Lisi Harrison did a wonderful job writing this book. I especially like the adding of Massie's notes. It's fun to get inside an alpha's head. She's unusually organized for someone with frantic thoughts. :D

Things I Hated: N/A

This series is just amazing!! I have 3 books and they are all over in the series. This is the 3rd and last book that I have and even though I missed some books in between it recaps it. This book left me at a cliff hanger so the moment I got out of school I went straight to the library to pick up he other books. This book contains so much drama about boys, school, the popular girl, and the LBRS( Losers beyond Repair). The popular girls are Massie, Alicia, Dylan, Kristen and the newest member is Claire. Claire is going out with Cam, a Briarwood soccer player, and Massie is going out with Derrick Harrington, who the girls call him Derrington and he is also a soccer player. The book contains a lot of drama between all of the popular girls, the boyfriends and much more.

I thought that this book was really good! The pretty committee is the head of the seventh grade with the fashion, looks, riches, and everything. Now as they come back from being suspended from OCD they get back into their noraml routine of being adored. Every grade in OCD middle school has their own head clique. The puffs happen to be the 8th grade clique and they put a little challenge on the girls to see if they can find the key to the 8th grade cliques room. This room in hidden on school grounds but still it is PARADISE. Massie automatically thinks that the key is given to the pretty committee, but thats not the case. The number one big thing is that the puffs gave what massie calls "weird" people the challenge too. So it is all just a race!

Quotes that stood out to me
"Dylan and Kristen giggled while Massie contemplated her sudden need to make Claire cry. She wanted to hurt her feelings and crush her confidence and treat her like an unworthy, unimportant, and undesirable loser. Maybe then Claire would understand how Massie felt, being dumped for a stupid movie."
- wow I don't remember Massie's toxic behaviour & feelings being written out so clearly like this

"Massie's ears buzzed. No one had ever called her a Little Insignificant Seventh-grade Pee-on before. No one had ever dared! Standing there, trapped under the hateful gaze of OCD's eight-grade alpha, Massie didn't know whether to defend her honour or run."
- my little pathetic cringefail ❤️. love how her (& the pretty committee's) popularity's based on other people's opinions of her (what a lbr). then again they're all 12 years old (...scary...). love the random acronyms too, how do they remember all of that???
